Hydralic Brake Thermal pressure release

+1

The link bolt needs to be adjusted so the reservoir hole is open when the brake is released. If not, it'll bind the brakes as the caliper heats up. :?

On my Viva, the foot brake pivot was binding slightly causing it to not fully return to the rest. The brakes still worked fine, but the brake light would stick on. Had to loosen up the pivot with grease.

If your pedal doesn't return to it's stop properly, the master cylinder may not reach the vent hole opening to equalize pressures during therma expansion of the fluid.
